There are several varieties of salvia and our advice would depend on which variety you have. Do you know the name? if not, if you could post a pic we'll id the type and offer advice.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
If it's a herbaceous one, or one of the shrubby ones that spreads underground and comes up all over the place like Nachtvlinder, then yes. If it's a shrubby one that grows from a single "trunk" at ground level then no, but you can take cuttings.

It hasnt come up anywhere else and as far as I can see it has lots of stems coming from the same point. Its gone a bit 'wild' and looks untidy but I dont want to kill it because the Bees love it and it flowered for months.
There are so many different ones. I have divided S Caradonna once not something that I would recommend if the plant was just a couple of years old. They look better in generous clumps. The woody forms sometimes you will find seedlings along side best from cuttings.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
